I was in the parking lot of a bar in downtown Fullerton, CA and I was looking for my purse to get ready to go out for my birthday and some of my friends were drinking in the car. All of a sudden a cop comes and all of my friends run out and the cop ended up giving the driver and me a ticket for having an open container. I told him I was just looking for my purse, but he either didn't hear me or just decided to ignore what i said. Does it matter if you were just a passenger and didn't engage in the activity? Can I fight this? It ruined my birthday.
Also does this count as a moving or non-moving violation?
